M9/M5 FIRMWARE UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS
NEEDED:
-
A MIDI interface that connects to your computer via USB (download the current Driver for it if you don't have it installed)
-
2 MIDI cables (or a MIDI interface such as the M-Audio Uno that comes with attached MIDI cables)
NOTE: Line 6 recommends a name brand USB to MIDI interface produced by an audio company that supports/updates their drivers. Good choices include: M-Audio, Edirol, E-Mu and MOTU. These interfaces have proven to be more robust and reliable when it comes to large MIDI transfers such as the M9 and M13 update.
